Draw Conclusions When you draw a conclusion, you form a reasonable opinion about what you have read. Use what you know about real life to help you draw conclusions. Be sure that there are enough facts or information in the text to support your conclusions.

Exaggeration is something overstated and made greater than it actually is. An author can use exaggeration to emphasize a point for either serious or comic effect. In Space Cadets, exaggeration is mostly used for comedic effect.

Exaggeration does not often signal itself. It is up to the reader to recognize it and infer its purpose. Understatement is the opposite of exaggeration, or hyperbole. Unlike exaggeration, it is done almost exclusively for humorous or satiric effect.
